I bought the green xbox controller for my nephew who tells me that it's everything he wanted it to be. It must be great because we can't peel him away from the xbox and he is thrilled with it. It was well packaged and was delivered within a few days of ordering it. I'm told that the contoller is better in person than the way it looked on the web site. Great service and I'd definitely use this vendor again.

Best X Box Controller Your Money Can Buy

This is the same controller as the standard microsoft "S" controller that comes with an Xbox if you buy it new today, except it is green.

It is the smaller size Xbox controller not the oversized one that shipped with the xbox during the launch.

Don't settle for MadCatz or any other 3rd party Xbox controller. Stick with the authentic Microsoft made ones and get this controller.

It is nice because it is green and so you can tell it apart from the other black controllers that come standard.

Other than color it is identical.

A word of advice though make sure you are sure the controller is in mint condition if you buy it used, I bought one from amazon that didn't work properly. If possible it's actually better to buy a controller like this at EB games or something that way you can test it at home and return it easily if something isn't working. Because the problem is it is very difficult to find a sealed xbox controller these days so shop around before you spend your hard earned cash.

This is it.

I busted two black controllers with very little effort, but my green controller has been dropped - on my ceramic tile floor - many, many times and is still going strong after 3 1/2 years. If you still need a controller for your legacy Xbox this is it.

Alot better than I expected

I would recomend purchasing this controller. Smallest controller I have ever seen for an x-box, I didn't have any problems with it though. Don't buy those 3rd party controllers, because guess what? They don't work right.

cool but dangerous

I was playing meadle of honor on my xbox and a piece of the right triger button broke into my hand. I bleed alot and there was a big cut on my finger, I thought that I was dying, but of course my wish of my death did not come true. I hoped that this poorly designed controller but it didn't so now I just by from different video game company's.

Excellent.

If you don't like the big old XBOX controller, this is an item for you. But even so, this is a superb controller. Easy for XBOX pros and first-timers. One of the great things about it is the trigers. They seem like they should be there, even though it gives you the feel of shooting a gun if your playing a first person shooter like Halo. Oh, and by the way, it looks cool. Espcially with the green XBOX.

best controller

Better than all wired/wireless controllers for the xbox. Very sturdy and reliable and the green color looks very cool.

Takes a licking and keeps on working

After buying the cheaper no brand controllers and having them last less than a month i finally invested in the real controller. I was not disappointed because my 4 year old is very tempermental so whenever he loses which is very often he slams the controller to the floor. I am happy to say that after a month of this abuse the controller is still hanging in tough and working 100%.

Better Than PS2

I have played every type of system on the market with exception of the PSP, and have found that the XBOX Controller S is the most comfortable of the curent controls. The White, and Black buttons are rather dificult to use (especialy in a first person shooter like Doom 3). The start and back buttons are almost as difficult but most games don't use them as major buttons in game play.

The grips are the perfect size and the plastic is of a high enough quality that it wont break under normal use (excesive pressure will break it). There is room for two more buttons above the left and right trigers posably a place that would be better suited for the White and Black buttons. The PS2 has the Left and Right Buttons/Trigers (aka: L1, L2, R1, and R2) it would be more comfortable if they were tiered.

The XBOX Control also has two expansion slots. These slots alow for the headset and a memmory card to be used and there isn't another courd strung across the room that you (or your dog) could get tangled and ruin the system. another great feture is the quick/easy disconect built into the cord that prevents the system frome geting pulled off the shelf when the "dog" tramples between the system and control. this is a feture that tells you that the system was designed by gamers and not white collar nitwits with a degree in accounting.

All-in-all, the XBOX control puts everything at hands reach so you don't have to get up and change memory cards just to find you have to do it again because it is the wrong card or unplug the headset. I like the Controller S and think it IS the bluprint to be emulated.

Yup. Green.

First off, this is literally a translucent green controller S. Short of change in color, there's no other difference in playability or quality. If you want in-depth reviews of the quality of the Controller S, you may want to read reviews of the standard black controller (as there are probably many more). I'll just go over the highlights:

Pros:
-Microsoft brand. Perfect quality of control, super durable, all the features, etc etc as noted above.
-Cool translucent green color matches the visual style of the XBox in addition to just looking cool.
-The S is probably the single best XBox controller, and is superior to the origional controller for fast games (fighting, Tony Hawk, etc).

Cons:
-If you've read any reviews for the S, the cons are the same. The white, black, start, and back buttons are a little hard to reach, and the D-Pads aren't perfect.

Summary:
-This is the best XBox controller, in a cooler color. I wish I had a full fleet of four just so they'd all match.
